Accountability, good government and public trust are inextricably bound. Supreme Audit Institutions fulfil an exceptional role in the public domain, checking if governments spend their money properly. They are like ‘watchdogs’ for citizens and parliaments with the purpose of auditing public expenditure and examining the effectiveness of policies. They aim to enhance(D) the trustworthiness of government institutions, all the more(A) so in fragile democracies. They do so(D), for instance, in striving to disclose cases of corruption, not just in the highest echelons of government, but also in everyday petty bribery. And they can be found counting houses, roads and water taps, to see if government’s promises are being kept.
